Table 1_Cross-sectional comparison of lower-limb muscle strength and contractile properties according to Parkinson’s disease and sarcopenia status.docx

Featuring cross-sectional measurements from 60 older adults (20 with Parkinson's disease, 40 age-matched controls) aged 58–85 years. It compares isometric muscle strength across eight lower-limb movements and tensiomyography-derived contractile properties for four muscles. The data includes metrics like contraction time (Tc) and maximal muscle displacement (Dm) for the lateral gastrocnemius.

Use Cases

• Compare contraction time (Tc) and maximal muscle displacement (Dm) in the lateral gastrocnemius between Parkinson's disease patients and healthy controls.
• Analyze peak isometric strength in hip and knee extension tasks across sarcopenia classifications to identify task-specific deficits.
• Investigate the relationship between tensiomyography-derived contractile properties of the medial gastrocnemius, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles and Parkinson's disease status.
• Assess differences in lower-limb isometric strength across eight major movements between male and female participants within the 60-subject cohort.

Strengths

• Includes data from 60 older adults with a defined age range of 58–85 years.
• Provides measurements for eight major lower-limb isometric strength movements and four specific muscles for contractile properties.
• Contains a controlled comparison between 20 Parkinson's disease patients and 40 age-matched healthy controls.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 60 participants limits statistical power and generalizability.
• Cross-sectional design prevents analysis of causal relationships or disease progression.
• Data is presented in a DOCX file format (26.3 KB), which is not a standard structured data format for analysis.
